Hello Gurus,
In a script I have a piece of code as such:-
************* snip**************
my $filedate =~ s/(\d+)//g;
Try this instead:
my $filedate; if( $var_with_file_name =~ m/(\d+)\.csv$/ ) { $filedate = $1; } print "$filename\n";
************* snip end *******
The data I am parsing looks as such :-
********** DATA ************
C:/directory/MSISExport_20040814.csv
C:/directory/MSISExport_20040813.csv
.
.
.
.
C:/directory/MSISExport_20030501.csv
********** DATA end *********
Now I am actually trying to dump everything except the date or numerals as such :- 20040814
Can someone help me with that regex? I am having a frustrating time of it!
Much appreciated
Denham
